Pluckemin Inn

The Marvelous Morel Dinner
2024-05-29 19:00 - 21:30 UTC | Pluckemin Inn, 359 Route 206 South & Pluckemin Way, Bedminster, NJ, 07921, United States
The marvelous morel mushrooms are not only on our list of all-time favorite ingredients, they are also a sign that Spring has finally arrived.
The Morel, or morchella, is actually more related to the truffle than it is to other mushrooms and, like truffles, is the fruit of a fungus that sprouts in the moist soil of woods and forests. Morels are very versatile and have a complex flavor and wonderful texture unlike any other mushroom. That, combined with the fact that they only grow in the wild during a very short season, contributes to their mystique, their popularity among great chefs and their high price.
whether you have never had a morel, or already a fan, you will want to join us for this upcoming dinner celebrating this incredible ingredient. Executive Chef, Jason Ramos, will be presenting a five course dinner designed to showcase the best of the marvelous morel.

Feast of San Gennaro Dinner
2024-09-25 19:00 - 21:30
Our Feast of San Gennaro has become an annual tradition, and we are always excited for that dinner.
It may have something to do with the fact that Mrs. Gloria LaGrassa, the owner of the Pluckemin Inn, is of Italian heritage, or maybe because, well… how can you NOT love Italian food, but regardless, if there is an opportunity to celebrate it with our guests, you can count on us that we will.
The Feast of San Gennaro is nearly a century old tradition that started along Manhattan’s Mulberry street in 1926 with Italian immigrants from Naples celebrating Saint Januarius, the patron saint of Naples.
As with most Italian traditions, food took center stage, and food (and wine) is what we will celebrate at this dinner.
So join us on Wednesday, September 25th, at 7:00pm for an Italian inspired wine paired dinner, celebrating the delicious cuisine of Naples, Italy.

All About American Pinot Noir - Masterclass with Sommelier Sean Price
2025-03-22 14:30 - 15:45
There used to be a time when Merlot was the king of red wines in America. Then came a movie. In 2004 the movie “Sideways”, starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, single handedly changed the wine industry in California, dethroned Merlot and crowned Pinot Noir the new king.
Over 20 years have passed, and Pinot Noir is still at the top of American grape varietals right alongside the old faithful: Cabernet Sauvignon.
In this Masterclass Sean will explain what makes Pinot Noir such a unique varietal, and why, just like Paul Giamatti’s character in Sideways, it is described as “Thin skinned, temperamental and in need of constant care and attention.”
We will taste four different Pinot Noirs, two from California and two from Oregon. The wines will be accompanied by light canapes made by Executive Chef Jason Ramos and his team.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind wine dinner where we’ll be pouring some under the radar gems from lesser-known wine regions and unique grape varietals you probably haven’t tried before—but absolutely should. Expect to sip on Sauvignon ‘Voglar’, a crisp and aromatic white from Alto Adige that will have you wondering why it’s not more famous, alongside the bold yet smooth Mercury, a red wine from a lesser known village in Burgundy by the same name, that brings depth and character with every sip. And, of course, no great meal is complete without a bit of bubbly, so we’re popping bottles of Crémant d’Alsace—a French sparkling wine that rivals Champagne but with its own unique flair.
Executive Chef Jason Ramos loved working with these food friendly wines and created a menu that, alongside the wines, will make for an evening of discovery, delicious food, and great company. Whether you’re a wine geek or just someone who loves a good glass of wine, this is your chance to explore beyond the usual suspects and fall in love with something new.
